[LIBRARYDIR] furniture

[Kennedy James]

Over the last several years we've expanded our lounge seating quite a bit, including the addition of comfortable chairs that have a side table and power outlets - these have been immensely popular.  All seating/working areas have accessible power sources now.

We did a focus group and I'm attaching it because it's great info and our staff person (Franji Mayes, who is now with Department of Ecology) did a phenomenal job on it. :)

Hello

Our library has never had any lounge seating, only study tables and chairs; my guess is that is pretty unusual - anyone else have the same situation?  If you've had the opportunity to remodel or build a new library, what % space did you give to comfortable/casual seating vs. study?

Thanks
